The Champions League was originally the Champions Cup, which first began in 1955 as a straightforward knockout competition.

In 1992, UEFA renamed it the Champions League and introduced the first group stage into the competition. Over time, the format has changed with 32 teams now competing in the group stage. The top two in each group progress to a knockout competition whilst the third placed teams drop into the Europa League.

First Winner

Real Madrid won the first Champions Cup in 1956, beating French side Stade de Reims 4 – 3 in Paris.

Marseille were the first winners of the Champions League in 1992 after they won 1 – 0 against AC Milan in Munich. The French club were allowed to retain the trophy despite being found guilty of corruption in the French League and being punished with relegation to Ligue 2.

Most Champions League Wins

One club has dominated the list of winners: Real Madrid. The Spanish giants won the first five competitions and have gone on to win eleven times and runners-up three times:

Most Memorable Moment in the Champions League

The greatest final was in 1960, the last of Real Madrid’s five-in-a-row. They beat German side, Eintracht Frankfurt 7 – 3 in Glasgow with Alfredo di Stefano scoring a hat-trick and Ferenc Puskas grabbing four.

Many fantastic goals have been scored down the years, some truly memorable from the greatest footballers who ever played the game: Puskas, di Stefano, Eusebio, Cruyff, Maradona, Muller, Dalglish through to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The most memorable in a final came in 2002 when Zinedine Zidane scored a stupendous volley for Real Madrid against Bayer Leverkusen in Glasgow. The ball dropped over his shoulder and the French genius lashed home what proved to be the winning goal.
